you wrote, "i was diluted to believe lance armstrong when he denied doping." that's what you're saying now. but what was it, when you wrote that article, so late, so many people were saying, maybe it's not true, why did you still believe him? >> i really thought he was a hero. to me, the premise i took was this. people were saying he was blood doping, he'd been blood doping throughout all the tour de frances that he won all seven of them. i'm sure that was true, but that sport was so rife with doping, so rife with cheating, so rife with the use of performance enhancers, i said, all right, if that's all they have, then he basically is equaling the playing field. he overcame cancer, which is an incredible story. he starts this foundation, livestrong, which is really, really doing great work on behalf of millions of cancer survivors. so, i -- you know, look, at the end of the day, it was my fault, but i do cringe when i see that cover. it's embarrassing, and i said, i believe in him, he's a hero, and just leave him alone. because it did seem like a witch hunt for

night, rather critical of lance armstrong. but tonight's portion of the interview seems to be ready to touch on a much more complex and delicate part of his relationship, with cancer survivors and the livestrong foundation. and that will be a rather interesting part of this to watch. many people who have applauded lance armstrong for what he's done in this area, this humanitarian area for more than a decade, applaud him. but there are many critics who say he's used this to kind of help his public image. just after the u.s. anti-doping agency released its reason decision report last october condemning lance armstrong as a doper, the cycling icon made his first public appearance in one of the few safe places he had left. armstrong had just stepped down as the chairman of livestrong days before the foundation's annual ride for the roses charity biking event in austin, texas. he was surrounded by more than 4,000 cyclists, many of them cancer survivors. >> obviously it's been an interesting and as i said the other night, at times v
